On the nose, it presents an elegantly charred profile with ripe white fruit aromas, complemented by hints of lemon meringue, poached apricot, and black cherry. The palate is vibrant and youthful, showcasing flavours of lime leaf, floral honey, and green mango, with a touch of oyster shell minerality. Its delicate mousse and refined acidity culminate in a long, chalky finish, reflecting the wine`s precision and potential for ageing. Disgorged at the end of 2023, this vintage has been lauded for its complexity and tension, with esteemed critic James Suckling awarding it 99 points.

A Family Business
The Taittinger family have been running their eponymous Champagne house since 1932. One of the last family-owned houses in Reims, the brand has a reputation for quality-driven vintage and non-vintage Champagnes. Sourcing fruit from over 35 vineyards sites, the team produce a range of styles including an elegant non-vintage, two sweeter Champagnes in the form of Nocturne and Demi-Sec and a Grand Cru-based non-vintage.
The Taittinger family's Prestige Cuvée is Comtes de Champagne, first produced in 1952. This Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) is produced using fruit from five different Grand Cru sites across the Côte de Blancs. An aromatic, full-bodied Champagne with notes of citrus oil and green apple in youth, Comtes de Champagne ages superbly, with time in the bottle revealing notes of toasted hazelnut and a creamy richness.
